Subj : Returning to Pascal

Hi everyone,

Years ago (mid 80s - early 90s), I used to be a fairly proficient Pascal
programmer using Turbo Pascal under DOS and CP/M (on Apple w/z80 Softcard and
Microbee), and have written a number of applications, including a Morse tutor,
which was initially written under DOS, but ported to the Microbee with the help
of a friend who owned one for the assembly code required to implement sound and
timing on that platform.

I haven't written any Pascal for about 25 years, though I did dabble in Java
several years ago and am often scripting in BASH.  Anyway, I've got a few small
projects that could do with some code and after discovering Free Pascal, I
figured it would be easier to relearn Pascal than learn something new to me
such as C.  Things have changed though since those days! :)

Any suggestions for resources would be welcome, though I have already found
some good information on the Free Pascal wiki, which has jogged my memory.


... My hard disk is full! Maybe I'll try this message section thing.
